Lots of experts on this board who offer their opinions as if they have a sound basis in science. Would be very helpful if we separate the opinion and speculation from the science. So far, we have foodbase, seals, water quality, logging, population growth, hatchery/wild interactions, hatchery practices, fish management techniques, predator fish abundance, size limits, ocean productivity, and tribal harvest mentioned. I probably missed a few, dozens of others on other threads though. Not much science offered to support the vast majority of those opinions. Yet they are usually presented with conviction as if there is some technical basis for the strong contentions.

Is it any wonder our experts have failed to identify and (if possible) address what the real problems are?
